I like how easy it is to block people, communities, and instances. It makes it so I can curate my feed into something that’s interesting and doesn’t make me want to constantly ragepost. It’s better for my mental health.
I’m not enriching a pedophile neo-nazi
Lemmy hasn’t been enshittified.
Free, no ads and custom clients. Tech Literate and Left user .
Lemmy didn’t try to force me to dox myself for “age verification”.
Most of the posts on Lemmy are still made by humans instead of automatically reposting the top posts from 5 years ago forever.
The bots ran me off. I want to read human comments and converse with humans.
Caught a permaban for my, uh, spicy opinions on Russians. I rarely go back to look at something and every post has 10,000 bullshit replies.
Nobody is making profit from my content or selling my data to advertisers.
An actually solid mobile client
If they hadn’t killed RiF client, I’d still be there.
Not sure if I’d still be there, and thank God for the Connect app for Lemmy that it getting close to the point of being actually useful because without that I don’t know where I’d be
The people are less stupid. We weed out the people who don’t know how to use computers by implementing hard stuff like “choices”
I like that people can share their unfiltered thoughts without being censored. Especially if we’re all feeling disgusted by our world’s leaders.
Its not enshittified in various ways. Its just a news aggregate and discussion forum that functions.
The discussions are on average much more civil, and can actually be worth reading rather than to watch a fight. It reminds me of old school slashdot.
I don’t prefer lemmy. I’m locked out of the only communities i actually enjoyed, because the mirrors here are dead beyond hope.
I’m currently browsing Lemmy with a third party app.
Reddit wiped out that capacity, and I in turn wiped out my participation on reddit.
i use a minimalist app written in rust that i prefer to the reddit or default lemmy experience
